Gregg Hersholt, a veteran morning radio news anchor in the Pacific Northwest, mentioned on "Seattle's Morning News" with host Charlie Harger that his first professional run-in with President Jimmy Carter came when he was just the governor of Georgia.

"I first met him in 1974. I was in Spokane. The Expo '74 world's fair was underway, and he was two years into his term as governor of Georgia, Hersholt said. "He came to Spokane. I was emceeing little events at the outdoor amphitheater there that summer to make a little extra money. It was Georgia Day and Governor Jimmy Carter came to town. I didn't know who he was, but I had to introduce him before this crowd."
